Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle identification.
  • identification systems such as that developed by the same applicant and forming the subject matter of European patent EP 2430624 , use high frequency tags (short wave or HF at a frequency of between 3 and 30 MHz) or ultra-high frequency tags (UHF at a frequency of between 300 MHz and 3 GHz) onto which information is written which can then be read with an appropriate reader, which is issued for example to authorised repair workshops or to law enforcement agencies.
  • high frequency tags short wave or HF at a frequency of between 3 and 30 MHz
  • UHF ultra-high frequency tags
  • identification systems have good tamperproof properties.
  • FR 2902385 discloses an identification system of a vehicle with three radio frequency tags: one integrated in the plate, one affixed on a glass and a third on the vehicle registration.
  • An object of the present invention is to further improve the prior art identification systems and, in particular, of making it more difficult to counterfeit the vehicle identification system, in order to reduce the risk of fraud for insurance purposes or in connection with illegal trade in vehicles which have been involved in crime or counterfeiting.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an identification system which acts as a deterrent to thieves by making vehicle identification easier and more reliable.
  • a further object is to create the conditions for simplifying vehicle-related bureaucratic operations (for example for police checks or for car insurance) and technical operations such as testing and assessments, and additionally for verifying the history of maintenance and modifications performed on the motor vehicle, by producing a simple vehicle identification system which is easy to apply, is inexpensive and does not infringe on the privacy of the vehicle owners.
  • the present invention relates to an electronic vehicle identification system of the type indicated in the accompanying claims.
  • the system for identifying a vehicle comprises:
  • the first radio frequency tag, to be fixed in an easily accessible or visible position of the vehicle, the second radio frequency tag, to be fixed to a registration certificate or any other identification document of the vehicle, and the fourth radio frequency tag, placed on the smart card are preferably HF, whereas preferably the third radio frequency tag, to be placed in a concealed position on board the vehicle, is preferably UHF.
  • the read and write device comprises at least two radio frequency read and write members, consisting of at least one first HF read and write member for reading and writing the first, second and fourth, HF tags, and at least one second read and write member for reading and writing the third, UHF tag.
  • the present invention further relates to a smart card for identifying a vehicle, comprising a substrate fitted with a contact-readable and -writable microchip and with a, preferably HF, radio frequency tag, which is radio frequency readable and writable, preferably at short range, and on which to store data for identifying a vehicle and its owner.
  • a smart card for identifying a vehicle comprising a substrate fitted with a contact-readable and -writable microchip and with a, preferably HF, radio frequency tag, which is radio frequency readable and writable, preferably at short range, and on which to store data for identifying a vehicle and its owner.
  • a preferably HF, radio frequency tag which is radio frequency readable and writable, preferably at short range, and on which to store data for identifying a vehicle and its owner.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for providing a vehicle with an identification according to claim 9.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for modifying the identification data of a vehicle which has been identified using the aforesaid method, comprising the sequential actions of:
  • the present system makes it possible also to check the data of the vehicle from the outside, for example when the vehicle is parked, and is thus a valuable aid to law enforcement agencies in preventing and fighting the crimes of theft, robbery, fraud, counterfeiting and the like.
  • the smart card allows the data of the vehicle to be read instantly, even in the absence of a registration certificate or proof of ownership, thereby facilitating checks on motor vehicles by law enforcement agencies equipped with readers and simplifying checking of data on transfers of ownership and vehicle registration.
  • the system is a valuable tool against fraud since it certifies the reliability of the identification data of the vehicle to be insured and makes it possible to obtain more informative details on the vehicle. Said system also improves the quality of client acquisition and of the risk portfolio, allowing more advantageous tariffs to be set up for vehicles equipped with such a system, and makes it possible to quickly ascertain the insurance status of the vehicle, thereby simplifying the operations of assessing damage and compensating victims.
  • this electronic vehicle identification system with a conventional system, such as window markings, in order to form an effective deterrent against the counterfeiting of motor vehicles, and thus against their theft for the purposes of cheating manufacturers, car sellers and citizens.
  • the system 10 for identifying a vehicle 12 comprises a plurality of radio frequency tags, also known as RFID tags, for storing the data of the vehicle and owner.
  • a first tag 16 is provided, which is to be fixed, in use, to an easily accessible point of the vehicle 12, preferably on a window 14, so as to be easily identifiable from the outside and readable without the need to access the inside of the vehicle.
  • the tag 16 like all the other radio frequency tags described in the following, is equipped with a microchip and with an antenna for transmitting and receiving data.
  • the tag 16 preferably transmits in HF, or high frequency, so as to be readable and/or writable at close range.
  • the storage capacity of the tag is therefore preferably 8 kB.
  • a second tag 26 is provided, which is preferably similar to the tag 16 and is to be permanently applied to the registration certificate 28 of the vehicle or to a similar document, in order to certify the originality of said document.
  • the tag makes it impossible, or in any case much more difficult, to counterfeit the registration certificate, such counterfeiting being typical in a case of vehicle theft.
  • the tag 26 preferably has a data storage capacity of up to 8 kB, in order to allow storage of the identification data of the vehicle and its owner.
  • a third tag 18 is also associated with the vehicle and transmits and receives preferably in UHF, or ultra high frequency.
  • This third tag 18 can be read/written at a greater range, depending on the dimensions of the antenna and on the power of the transmitter. Conveniently, this results in a range of between 30 and 100 cm, and said tag can thus advantageously be positioned in a concealed place directly by the owner of the vehicle, in such a way that no-one besides the owner is aware of the exact location thereof.
  • the tag can be fixed beneath one of the seats, within the dashboard, to the internal wall of a glove box, in the boot or in any other position which is out of sight. The greater reading range of the tag makes it possible to read the content thereof even without knowing the exact position.
  • this third tag 18 contains encrypted data but preferably communicates without an encryption protocol. Furthermore, the capacity of the third tag 18 may be limited to only 64 bits (8 bytes, equivalent to 8 characters), this being sufficient to store, for example, the last eight digits of the vehicle chassis number.
  • the identification system further comprises a smart card 20 (see Fig. 2 ) comprising a substrate 21, which is typically made of plastics material or any other suitable material, in which a fourth tag 22 is mounted and which is also equipped with a microchip and HF antenna, in order to be readable and writable at close range.
  • Said substrate is preferably of the type used in electronic passports, for example; that is to say, of the type containing encrypted data, entailing encrypted protocol communication and having a data storage capacity of up to 8 kbytes.
  • the smart card 20 contains a contact microchip 24 which is equipped with a microprocessor which manages the exchange (reading and/or writing) of data, which are encrypted and exchanged using encrypted protocol communication, and also stores said data.
  • the data storage capacity of the contact microchip 24 is preferably up to 8 kbytes.
  • a string 25 of alphanumerical characters may also be printed on the smart card 20.
  • data relating to the car and/or its owner such as registration, chassis, name and surname of the owner, as well as the history and condition of the vehicle or other data, including the unique codes of the other tags associated with the same vehicle, such that these are paired to the smart card and cannot be replaced.
  • the smart card is thus a type of identification document for the vehicle and at the same time ensures the security of the entire identification system, as will become clearer in the following.
  • All the data stored on the tags and on the microchip are preferably encrypted, in order to prevent them from being read without the decryption key.
  • the identification system 10 further comprises a read and write device 30 equipped with a slot 34 into which the smart card is inserted and with a data input/output device 48 having buttons 50. Furthermore, said device is equipped with a screen 52 and optionally with an acoustic or visual signaller 54 (for example an LED) for signalling the due completion of a requested operation.
  • the read and write device 30 is in some cases to be connected to a known computer 32 by means of, for example, a USB port 56.
  • the read and write device 30 (a block diagram of which is shown in Fig. 3 ) comprises:
  • the controller 46 is programmed in such a way that it is always possible to read the tags 16, 18, 22 and 26 and the microchip 24 using the read and write device 30. It is, however, preferable for the controller to be programmed in such a way that the read and write device 30 has to be connected to the computer 32 in order to be able to enter ex novo or modify the data stored in the smart card 20, that is to say, in the microchip 24 and the tag 22.
  • the controller 46 allows the tags 16, 18 and 26 to be written only as a copy of the data stored in the microchip 24 of the smart card 20.
  • the microchip 24 therefore has a master function, since any modification of the data stored in any of the tags must be preceded by the modification of the data stored in said microchip.
  • the tag 22 can be used to certify the data in the microchip 24 and vice versa.
  • the input/output device 48 is equipped with a limited number of buttons 50 (three in the example shown) for carrying out a limited number of operations, such as reading, copying data from the microchip 24 to the tags 16, 18, 22, 26 and, potentially, deleting all of the data present.
  • buttons 50 three in the example shown
  • the input device of a standard computer 32 is used for the ex novo entry of data on the microchip 24, however, the input device of a standard computer 32 is used.
  • This type of identification system is extremely tamperproof since, in order to modify the data in any way, it is necessary to be in possession of the smart card 20, which is meant to be in the custody of the vehicle owner and, if possible, not in the vehicle itself. In this manner, in the event of theft of the vehicle for example, the thieves, even if they manage to obtain a read and write device 30, cannot modify the data stored in the tags 16 and 18 affixed to the vehicle itself or in the tag 26, since they are not in possession of the smart card 20.
  • the read and write device 30 can alternatively be connected, according to a preferred embodiment, to a first UHF internal antenna 45, which is extremely compact, or to a second UHF external antenna 45b, which has a greater range.
  • a connector 61 is provided on the read and write device 30, to which there is selectively coupleable a cable 62 for connection to the external antenna 45b.
  • the antenna 45 is of small dimensions and is therefore suitable for being housed inside the read and write device 30, which is thus particularly convenient in use.
  • the external antenna 45b can be connected to the read and write device 30, and owing to its larger dimensions also makes it possible to read tags which are positioned 1 m away or more, depending on the type and dimensions of the external antenna 45b.
  • the connector 61 preferably comprises or is associated with an antenna switch, which is either mechanical or electronic and selectively disconnects the internal antenna 45 from the read and write member 44 when the external antenna 45b is connected.
  • Fig. 4 further indicates the position of the HF read and write antenna 42, which is adjacent to an end 31 of the device 30, thereby improving efficiency and convenience in use by allowing a user to move the HF read and write device 42 closer to the tag to be read or written, and at the same time to read the data collected on the screen 52.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for providing a vehicle with an identification.
  • a qualified operator from an authorized centre verifies that the chassis and registration numbers of the vehicle which are indicated on the registration certificate correspond to the registration and chassis number on the vehicle. Therefore, a first, HF tag 16 and a third, UHF tag 18 are applied to the vehicle and a smart card 20 is provided, which is equipped with a contact-readable and -writable microchip 24 and with a fourth, HF radio frequency tag 22. Furthermore, a third tag 26 is applied to a registration document of the vehicle.
  • the vehicle identification data are written to the microchip 24 and to the tag 22, preferably, but not necessarily, simultaneously. It is preferable for this operation to be possible only if the read and write device is connected to a computer.
  • the data entered in the smart card 20 is also copied to the tags 16, 18 and 26. It is also possible to write the data to the tags before these are fixed to the car, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the data stored on the tag 22 and on the microchip 24 of the smart card 20 are modified and then the modified data are copied to the tags 16, 18 and 26.
  • the read and write device 30 it is necessary to connect the read and write device 30 to a computer 32. This further increases the security of the identification system 10 since, in order to modify the data stored on the tags and on the microchip, it is necessary to be in possession of the smart card 20, of a read and write device equipped with the access keys and with a suitably programmed computer.
  • all the HF tags 16, 22 and 26 may be of the type used in electronic passports, but may also be of another type, depending on the specific application.
